if that becomes necessary in the fiscal environment. we don't recommend we do this, but we say that should be the lowest priority. >> you did not endorse any one of these options. you didn't make that hard choice. why didn't you make the hard choice, and given your experience, which one of these scenarios is more likely than the others? >> well, i think the most likely scenario is something like that 10% reduction from the president's current budget plan. the overall fiscal pressures are going to push us that way because of the deficit issue. and the one thing i would like to add is, these choices of what systems to cut or what forces to cut would be far less difficult if we could make the defense department more efficient. and we identify in the study some $900 billion in potential savings just through greater efficiency, particularly in the way we utilize manpower. so if we could pocket that, then we wouldn't to have cut our combat forces as much. >> but let me ask you something that i've asked almost everybody in the administration.

i heard parents were saying well, it's okay for my teenager to drink at home because it's a secure environment. it's not right for a young person to drink any place that's underage. >> certainly because it expands beyond that. the teen will continue to do so when they're not home, when they're potentially driving, behind vehicles and those kinds of things so we want to tell them. >> what else is happening in the county? >> we're moving forward. we're concerned about snow. whenever there's snow in the washington, d.c. area, it is a real challenge for all of us. so we are out on the streets now making sure that we preprepare streets in a way that we can have assurance about the rush hour. but people need to be mindful. tune into the county's website or go back to your website to make sure they have the appropriate information to ensure that people are prepared for today. but we hope that we can get through this rush hour and ensure that people are safe and sound. >> if i have snow on my street and it's there two or three days later, can i call you? >> people call me at any time. we have a websit
